Radial deep-groove ball bearing The early 30s was a difficult time for the Swiss watch industry,

recognized the increasingly important role electricity would play in
peoples daily lives.
All electrical appliances have one thing in common they need
miniature ball bearings in order to function.
So in 1932 the company successfully became involved with small
components and created a spin-off company named RMB
[Roulement Minature Bienne].
In 1969 a RMB miniature ball bearing was on the first manned
moon landing also a big step for RMB.
In 1971 RMB acquired MKL-Miniature-Kugellager GmbH
Radial deep-groove ball bearing Leutkirch. Together they gained significant market share.
Single-row, radial, deep-groove ball By 1979 RMB produced an annual quantity of 2 million ball

bearings and by 1986 approached the 3 million mark.
In 1994 RMB established an assembly plant in Roznov, Czech
Republic, the Silicon Valley of Eastern Europe.
Since December 2001, under the name of myonic, RMB has
developed into one of the worlds leading suppliers in the design,
engineering, manufacturing and assembly of high-precision ball
bearings and system solutions.
Therefore, the company coined the phrase,

At myonic, all raw material batches used to manufacture every ball bearing component are inspected by the material
laboratory manned by metallurgical and chemical engineers. This includes materials for rings, balls, cages, shields and
seals. Each batch is analyzed and classified by its grain structure, homogeneity and microscopic cleanliness.
To assure the best raw material, myonic uses vacuum degassed steel and in many cases, double induction melted vacuum
degassed steel. These steels are able to meet the highest degree of cleanliness and homogeneity.
myonic uses many different steels able to meet customer specific needs. Please contact our sales and technical engineers
for assistance in selecting the correct material for your customized application.
Please contact our application engineering department for suggestions on the most suitable steel for your application.
For very demanding applications, our engineers will give you the right solution to your bearing application problems both

Precision
All RMB miniature ball bearings are manufactured according to ISO and/or ABEC precision accuracy. The International
Standard Organization (ISO) defines norms that are used for the accuracy of metric dimension bearings, while the
Annular Bearings Engineers Conference (ABEC) are used generally for inch dimension bearings. myonic manufactures to
both accuracy standards.

For the most demanding applications, myonic manufactures bearings with stricter tolerances than required by the
standards, even at their highest level. Our sales and technical engineers will guide you through the best solution for
